Five short stories that give glimpses into the lives of Griffin, Jorie, and the other characters from Second Nature.



Bonding Time: Griffin has been looking forward to feline bonding time with a special lady. Leave it to her sister Leigh to interrupt.



Coming to Dinner: Jorie and Griffin are having second thoughts about their decision to invite Griffin's shapeshifter relatives and Jorie's mother for dinner on Christmas. What could be more nerve-racking than cat-shifters who don't believe in Christmas with a human woman, allergic to cats, who doesn't believe in shapeshifters?



Babysitter Material: It's Rufus and Kylin's anniversary—and no babysitter for the triplets. Kylin has a desperate idea, but is her gruff father Brian, ruler of the pride, really babysitter material?



When the Cat's Away: With a mouse in Griffin and Jorie's house, Griffin calls her fathers. With three cat-shifters on the hunt, the house will be a rodent-free zone in no time. Or so she thinks.



Plus One: Griffin accepts Jorie's invitation to be her 'plus one' at Jorie's high school reunion, eager to find out about her lover's past. But the food at the buffet has an unexpected effect on Griffin.
